Montgomerie unlikely to pick Garcia

Europe (8/15 favourites for the Ryder Cup in the ante post market) captain Colin Montgomerie has admitted that he is unlikely to select Sergio Garcia as one of his three wildcard picks for the upcoming Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor.

The European captain now has an extra wildcard and will confirm his selections, and the automatic qualifiers, at the conclusion of the Johnnie Walker Championship on August 29.

However, Monty admits that it is looking increasingly likely the 30-year-old Garcia will not be participating for the first time since making his debut at Brookline in 1999.

When asked about the possibility of including the Spaniard, Montgomerie replied: “At this stage, it is not looking likely, no.”

Garcia has not been in the best of form of late, having not won a tournament for nearly two years, and will take a two-month break after the end of the US PGA Championship.

He has been inspirational for Europe though when taking on the USA (15/8, 9/1 the tie), having never lost a foursomes match and holding a career record of 14-6-4 in the event.

Montgomerie admits he is relieved to be able to now concentrate on the European contenders after carding an 11-over-par 83 to fall to 18-over in his fog-delayed second round at the US PGA Championship on Friday.

“It has been a very long two days, a very long week unfortunately,” Monty said. “I’m looking forward to getting the Ryder Cup team picked, and it’s good to see a few [players] are doing well [here].”

McIlroy upbeat ahead of USPGA

Rory McIlroy, a 14/1 shot for the title, admits he is getting better and better as he prepares to take on an open field in this week’s USPGA Championship at Whistling Straits.

The Northern Irishman, who won the Quail Hollow Championship earlier this year – his first PGA Tour win, is in good form and is expected to benefit from the fact that the Wisconsin course bares several similarities with the familiar Royal Portrush venue on which he honed his skills as a teenager.

The 21-year-old admits patience is the name of the game for him in the tournament but is confident he is improving all the time as he has an eye on sealing his place among the elite with a maiden major victory this weekend.

“You’ve got to be really patient in this game and I realise that,” he said in a pre-USPGA press conference.

“Sometimes it is hard for me to accept that you’re not going to have a good day all the time. I think that’s something that I’m still learning how to do.

“But that all just comes through experience and I feel as if I’m getting better at it.”

McIlroy is joint third favourite for the title with Padraig Harrington also at 16/1. Phil Mickelson is the current 12/1 favourite with out-of-form Tiger Woods on offer at 14/1.
